I'm not sure about 100ft but I have twice done a practice PFL on
take-off with a PA28 from 200ft. Landed and took off again within
6000ft. Only one onboard and real life not FS! The only thing to watch
is lateral drift with a crosswind as the runway moves sideways -


At Vx or Vy though? In my flight sim tests, a complete engine stoppage
at 50', climbing out at Vy was easily recoverable with a normal landing.
At Vx though, a crash was the normal outcome.
